Well, everyone was so very helpful with my overdrive problem I thought I`d present a new one for the forum.
60 Lark 259. The problem is that the engine misses when driving at a consistant speed over 50mph. It started slowly as just a little miss here and there. Now it just loses all power as if I`m running out of gas. It starts and runs excellent until I take it out on the highway and then the trouble starts. I try to feather the throttle, clutch it and rev it a little but nothing works. If I just put the clutch in the motor stalls. I will coast to a near stop , pop the clutch and the motor fires back up and will behave as long as I drive it under 50mph.
I have replaced the fuel pump, coil, resistor, rebuilt the carb. The points appear to be fine. I have checked the heat riser valve in the exhaust manifold and it seems to function easily.
Anybody?
